Rick Santorum - Dumbass Par Excellence

[Minimalist]

at it again. Must be staking out his ground for 2016?

Marriage is not, Santorum said, solely about “a romantic relationship between two people.”

“It’s also about,” he added, “a unity of men and women, for the purposes of having and raising children, and giving the child their birthright, which is to be raised by their natural mother and natural father. When we have less of that in America — then society struggles and suffers. Economically, it suffers; socially, it suffers; morally, it suffers — and children are harmed.”

The result of “a decline in marriage and a redefinition of marriage,” he said, is that “you get less marriage. You get families that aren’t as strong, and as a result, society generally, the economy suffers.”

Except....with all his whining about fucking children...and he's a catholic so fucking children is big with his ilk!....here's the problem.

The age at which men and women in America marry is now at historic heights, and as a result the number of children born out of wedlock has also increased, says a new study by a group of family researchers, who have found that 48 percent of all first births are happening outside of marriage.

You know what, Ricky-poo. You can't blame the gays for that. These are your fine, upstanding, largely-xtian no doubt, heteros who are fucking up your idea of marriage and family.

What does he propose to do about this, apart from stuff like opposing gay marriage? Will he support legislation to make divorce illegal? To offer incentives for couples to remain together if they bear a child? Or does it end at opposing gay marriage and abortion?

I think we'd all be better off is Li'l Ricky just . . . gave in . . . to those . . . urges! Perhaps Michelle Bachmann can introduce him to a nice man.

Ooh. The mental image of that is painful.

Or, you know - Michelle could just strap one on for her buddy Rick.

Teh stoopid ... it burns.

I'm thinking of a law set requiring the following:

all kids get to know who their parents are

any parent not knowing (except in rape or medical accident) ID of other parent gets prosecuted, or deliberately mis identifying a parent gets prosecuted

all aid to children till they are 18 will be distributed to both bio-parents

any parent not contributing to the care of their offspring get to sit in jail till said offspring is 18, and no concurrency in sentencing for multiple kids

any parent birthing or fathering a subsequent child with a different parent, without a permit, pays a big fine and/or goes to jail

said permits only granted in cases of abuse, addiction or adultery, and all abuse and adultery cases are adjudicated, addicts get a TBD number of shots at rehab, probably 2, but I have days when the number might be 1

---

No conjugal visits for incarcerated parents, if they still do that these days

And BTW, Rick Santorum gives anal discharge a bad name.

santorum

1. That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.

Still on the first page of returns when searching Google for Santorum.

That's simply incoherent.

I won't comment on Rick's mental capacity.

That's like beating up a kid in a wheelchair.
